Champions League:
Qarabag dates set

The Champions League
last 16 play-off draw paired Newcastle with reigning Azerbaijan
League champions
Qarabag FK, who play in the Azerbaijan capital Baku.
The away leg is played first on Wednesday 18th February, with
the return at SJP on Tuesday 24th February. United's seeded status
ensured home advantage in the second leg.
Confirmed match dates:
Away: Wed 18.02.2026 @ 5.45pm GMT / 9.45pm local
United were allocated 1,998 tickets, sale details:

Venue for the tie is the 31,000 capacity Tofiq Bahramov Republican
Stadium, a 5,000 mile round trip from Tyneside.
Fantastically, the ground is named in honour of the "Russian linesman"
from the 1966 World Cup Final.
Four League Phase games there this season saw Qarabag defeat
Copenhagen and Bayer Leverkusen, draw with Chelsea and losing to
Ajax.
United's hectic February fixture list reads as follows:
Wed 04.02.2026 Manchester City (a) 8pm
(CC)
Sat 07.02.2026 Brentford (h) 5.30pm (PL)

Tue 24.02.2026 Qarabag (h) 8pm (CL)
Sat 28.02.2026
Everton (h) 3pm (PL)
* Subject to final confirmation, Newcastle's Premier League visit to
Manchester City moves to an 8pm KO rather than 12.30pm as
advertised. That's because our play-off first leg is away from home
on the preceding Wednesday.
PS: The winner of United's play-off will face either Barcelona or
Chelsea in the round of 16.

Match report
Premier League:
Liverpool (a)

Following their midweek visit to
Paris, Newcastle return to Premier League action when they face
Liverpool at the ungodly hour of 8pm on Saturday, live on TNT
Sports.
The first meeting of the two sides this season ended in a 3-2
victory for the Reds at Gallowgate, the winning goal coming in the
tenth minute of second half added time.
The Magpies have failed to win any of their 16 Premier League
meetings with Liverpool since a 2-0 home success during December
2015.
Team: Tino Livramento, Fabian Schar, Joelinton, Jamaal
Lascelles and Emil Krafth are all unavailable, with Bruno Guimaraes
doubtful.
LFC:
Conor Bradley, Joe Gomez, Ibraham Konate, Giovanni Leoni and Jeremie
Frimpong are injured. That Swedish bloke they paid fortunes for is
still out.
The Reds are winless in all five of their Premier League games in
2026 since a 2-1 home success against Wolves in late December.
Four successive draws were then followed by a 2-3 loss at
Bournemouth last time out.
Ahead of our meeting, Arne Slot's side beat Qarabag 6-0 at home in the Champions
League on Wednesday night.
Referee: Simon Hooper - the Wiltshire whistler returns for
only his second Toon appointment of the season, having taken charge
of our 2-3 home loss to Liverpool.

ST holders have 24
hours to apply, 24 hours to determine success, 48 hours to
buy.
Success is based on the loyalty point total calculated from applications
received. Any applications from ST holders with less points are entered into a
ballot, which will have taken place before tickets go on sale.
The purchase window is divided into two sections determined by a loyalty
point division that alters for each game - those successful applicants above
that point division get a couple of hours head start.
Note that emails from NUFC confirming success may arrive after the purchase
window opens - if you think you qualify because of your points total, just log
on and complete your purchase regardless.
Tickets not bought by successful applicants within 48 hours are offered
to unsuccessful applicants with the next highest loyalty points total. NUFC contact them directly.
Friends and family groups remain, travel groups and away season tickets are
gone.
2025/26 PL away tickets remain at £30.
2025/26 CL away tickets are

On This Day in History |
|
30th January |
|
Born Or Died:
1970 Alan Lamb
born, Gateshead.
(1991)

Striker who starred for Durham Schoolboys
but opted to join Nottingham Forest
instead of accepting an offer from
Newcastle.
Loaned out to Hereford United without
making it into the first team at the City
Ground, Lamb left Forest in favour of
Hartlepool United in 1989.
By 1991 though he'd drifted into
non-league football and was playing
for Brandon United when the Magpies
offered him a trial.
Lamb made eight reserve appearances and
scored twice, his debut coming away at
Manchester City when he played alongside
fellow Magpies hopeful Justin Fashanu.
However, no contract offer came and Lamb
signed for Gateshead,
appearing for them in two spells
sandwiching a stint playing in New Zealand
for North Shore United, Mount Maunganui
and Kawerau.
Returning to New Zealand, Lamb settled in
the town of Taupo on the North Island
and turned out for local side Taupo AFC.
1994 Dennis Knight born,
Newcastle. (2010-13)
A prolific scorer at
junior level for the Walbottle club,
Dennis made his U18 debut against
Nottingham Forest during March 2010,
whilst still a schoolboy.
Joining United's Academy the same summer, he
soon sampled reserve team football as a
substitute in a pre-season friendly to non-league side Gateshead.
And just days before his 17th birthday,
Knight made his bow at SJP in an FA Youth
Cup win over Grimsby Town - in midfield.
Marking his competitive reserve debut with
a goal against Bedlington Terriers in the
Senior Cup, he also scored a fine solo
effort at SJP against Watford in an FA
Youth Cup tie.
After eight outings for the reserve side
in the 2012/13 season however, Dennis was
declared surplus to requirements and joined Hartlepool United
on a trial in early 2013.
Knight then signed for Barnsley on a non- contract basis but after
failing to make a senior appearance, left Oakwell in the close season.
He later played in the Northern League for
West Auckland, Newton Aycliffe, Jarrow
Roofing and Newcastle Benfield.

This game, played with puddles on the pitch, was over

This Fourth Round replay at the Old Showground was to be Newcastle's final
visit to the venue.
By the time they met again in 1993, The Iron had moved to Glanford Park on the

supermarket.

Victory over second tier Swindon put top-flight Newcastle into the Fifth
Round of the FA Cup for a second successive season.
Two up at the interval, Neil McDonald hit his 58th minute spot kick wide of the
target and was then reluctant to try again when a further penalty was awarded.
Gazza stepped up to scored his second of the game in front of watching England
boss Bobby Robson, who said: "He's got the football world at his feet and a
long and successful career ahead of him."
PS: Although nobody knew it at the time, this victory indirectly resulted in the
mackems' promotion two years later.
An FA enquiry into alleged betting by Town boss Lou Macari and Chairman Brian
Hillier - who both backed Newcastle to win this game - spread to encompass all
financial aspects of the Wiltshire club.
Further irregularities came to light, and The Robins were refused entry to the
First Division, despite just having beaten the mackems in a one-sided play-off
final.
For reasons never explained, the red and whites then took their place (but not
for long...),

The Magpies returned to winning ways after a four game barren league run,
seeing off a Villa side who began the say in second place.
Alan Shearer had gone 894 minutes without a league goal but quickly marked his new status of captain (standing in for the injured Rob
Lee) by powering in a header from a Stephen Glass cross.
The Georgian loon added a second from a pullback by the Scots winger before Al
continued his one-man assault on the Villa defence; having a goal chalked off
and thumping a header off the crossbar.

2005 With Craig Bellamy allegedly mulling over an offer from Birmingham
City (although Billy Smart's would have been more likely), Freddy Shepherd had a
pop at our ex-Boss for his mismanagement of the troublesome Taff:
"I am very disappointed Sir Bobby Robson chose to make comments about the
problems we have been experiencing.
"I have the greatest respect for him,
but he has been in the game long enough to know he should have stayed silent on
this matter.
"Graeme Souness has been unfairly
blamed for what has happened in the past week. But the seeds of the Craig
Bellamy situation were sown before he arrived.
"Sir Bobby had no business in
commenting in the Bellamy affair last week and making allegations about what he
thought had happened in the dressing room.
"Many of the problems Graeme is having
to deal with are down to the way the previous manager handled matters of
discipline.
"If Sir Bobby had taken a harder line,
I am convinced we wouldn't be facing this situation."

United's Championship lead grew to four points but they missed the chance to

City's Ritchie Wellens received his second yellow card after half an hour but a

New recruits, Wayne Routledge, Mike Williamson and Patrick Van Aanholt started, while Fitz Hall was on the bench as Chris Hughton paraded his latest

The home side meanwhile handed a debut to their new acquisition, Nolberto Solano

New arrival Massadio Haidara was sighted for the first time and appeared in the

In addition to the header and shot he put past Jordan Pickford, the striker twice hit the woodwork and side-footing

Incoming coach Graeme Jones was credited with inspiring a fine team display, but
